British Democracy Forum - View Single Post - Sunday Telegraph: 'MEP misled EU cash office'

Britannist · 14-11-2005, 07:59 AM

This is starting to look like some sort of campaign against UKIP by the Sunday Telegraph :evil: :x . Since this new editor took over in the Summer UKIP has only ever been mentioned in negative news reports in that newspaper.

Over the last few weeks we've had the Petrina Holdsworth resignation letters 'leaked' to the Sunday Telegraph, followed by coverage over several Sundays of the Tom Wise expenses matter.

The story seems to be 'kept going'.

Last year - in the Summer I believe - the Sun newspaper published a big article about Den Dover, the Conservative MEP, allegedly claiming to attend meetings in Brussels that he only stayed in for a short period of time :shock: . It appears the Sun newspaper got one of its reporters to follow him all the way from Brussels to London (on the train). He was even photographed arriving at Waterloo. Nevertheless the story quickly disappeared.

Thanks to Sarah Sands, new editor of the Sunday Telegraph, this latest UKIP-negative story has now been going for at least three weeks :evil: .
